On our way back to our hotel, after a long morning of photography, we had to cross Piazza San Marco. Just before we entered the Piazza, the most wonderful golden light met us.

I always find that churches are interesting and I love to photograph them. Each country has it's own style, and yet you can almost always recognize a church. This particular church is from Hishult in Sweden. A typical Swedish village church. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

I could have spent much more time shooting photos inside the National History Museum in Paris. I got there 1½ hour before it closed, and I didn't even spend time looking at the exhibition. The building itself is a master piece, however this particular bird did catch my attention.

Armenia is one the Worlds small hidden gems if you ask me. The country is very small but has a grand history. Not only can they credit themselves for being the first nation in the world, to be Christian, and having invented Red Wine, but they also invented the Color television. Not bad for a small Country. This is the Monastery of Haghpat. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Chateau Queras is placed like the old fortress it is, to guard the entrance to Queras, a beautiful area in the French. Quite a gem really, full of beautiful places and then this beautiful old castle. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Dramartic sky above a canal in the capital of Chocolate, as Bruge in Belgium is called. The town has a most wonderful picturesque old middle age center with canals and really old buildings. Really worth a visit. Photo by Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

One of the major sites in lies in the heart of Copenhagen. It's called Nyhavn and means New Harbor. This is just before sunrise, before the neon lights are shut off. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

In the center of Roskilde you find Gråbrødre Graveyard. It has a couple of known Danish people burried, including the writer Gustav Wied. Photo by: Jacob Surland

Path into the unknown

A path into the unknown mist. A magical misty morning in Hünfeld Germany, hometown of one the people credited as inventor of the computer, Konrad Zuse. It was pure coincidence that we arrived here, but it was a gorgeous place. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughinpixels.com

Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one the most beautiful medieval towns in Germany. Even though a huge part was destroyed during bombings of the second world war, the town has been rebuilt. It is surrounded by a ring wall, and you can walk most of the way around it. There are a number of gates in the city wall; this is Klingentor. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Flowers on the Corner

Monaco is very known for its money and Formula 1. However, Monaco is a very beautiful city too. It is the second smallest country in the world. Only the Vatican is smaller. You find all sorts of beautiful old buildings. This flowerist on the corner I particularly liked. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Monaco is a beautiful little country. At the center you find the old Casino Monte Carlo. Rich people come and park their cool cars and people gather to envy the cars and take pictures of them. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

It not is not without reason, that Salzburg is consideren one of the most beautiful cities in mid-Europe.

Stairs to the sky

I found the stairway to Heaven in Mont Saint Michel a could of years ago. Well - maybe not exactly. But I used half a stairway to get a fake stairway to Heaven. --Jacob Surland

Stars above Saint Mont Michel

Stars and not least spot lights above Mont Saint Michel. These spot lights are amazing. The top of the tower is about 150m above the sea level, but these spot lights are just lighting up the sky. See the unprocessed photo in the full blogpost: http://goo.gl/gvSu93

I don't know if there ever was Gold in Cologne, but if there was, they must have put it into this into this bridge. When I got close, I could see there is is another kind of gold on the bridge. It's full of padlocks hung by lovers. I have never ever seen so many padlocks in one place, as on this bridge. It's from one end to the other.

The Outer Pier in small, but very old harbor of Roskilde. Roskilde is the home of the Vikings and is the also burial place for Monarchs of Denmark, and has been for a thousand years. History has a heavy footprint in Roskilde.
